Jürgen Klopp takes blame for defeat against Napoli and waits on Naby Keïta

And that’s that on a disappointing night for Liverpool. Napoli were deserved winners, and now Group C is going to be quite a battle. Next up for Klopp’s side: the double-header with Red Star. They’ll welcome the 1991 champions to Anfield in three weeks’ time. Hopefully we’ll see you here for that. Nighty night!

Jurgen Klopp speaks! “Defeat is deserved. We had our moments but not too often. Our formation was not right, with the ball we were too hectic. A draw away would be OK, but we made a mistake. We didn’t prepare it well. It was an interesting looking group before we started, and that’s how it still is! We want to play better. But we still would have liked to take a result. But I prefer to lose a bad game than a very good game. Tonight we were just not good enough, not as good as we can be.” And no news of Naby Keita’s injury yet.

That late drama catapults Napoli to the top of Group C. With four points, they’re a point better off than Liverpool in second and PSG in third. (PSG have the better goal difference, but Liverpool currently pip them on the head-to-head.) The late winner was a sickener for Liverpool, but they had offered next to nothing in attack, were bossed in midfield, and gave up quite a few chances before Insigne plunged the knife. They were hanging on; they couldn’t quite make it. So that’s three games without a win now for Jurgen Klopp’s side; the visit of Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday takes on even more significance!

GOAL! Napoli 1-0 Liverpool (Insigne 90)

It’s not as though this hadn’t been coming. And it’s so simple! Callejon makes ground down the right. He whips low to the far post. Insigne slides in, getting the jump on Gomez, and pokes into the bottom left. Alisson had no chance.
